Laser Beam Shaping Application

Description

This new edition details the important features of beam shaping and exposes the subtleties of the theory and techniques that are best demonstrated through proven applications. New chapters cover illumination light shaping in optical lithography; optical micro-manipulation of live mammalian cells through trapping, sorting, and transfection; and laser beam shaping through fiber optic beam delivery.

The book discusses applications in lithography, laser printing, optical data storage, stable isotope separation, and spatially dispersive lasers. It also provides a history of the field and includes extensive references.

Reviews

“This is great book! I recommend that all specialists who work in laser shaping application, non-imaging or illumination optics have this book.”

— Anatoli Trafimuk, Optics for Hire, Arlington, Massachusetts, USA

“This simple to read yet highly informative book will make a great reference to any technical library. The ‘real world’ examples and manufacturing references make this book relevant for design and application engineers that are considering new beam shaping methods.”

—Steve Rummel, II-VI Infrared, Saxonburg, Pennsylvania, USA

“Covers a broad range of application areas with insightful explanations and practical guidelines. I found the material interesting and am confident that this book would serve as a useful reference for any optical engineers or students interested in applying laser beam shaping techniques and technologies to their application, or for adapting and improving their existing approach.”
